  • 2 duck eggs

  • 100 g garlic chives (or fresh garlic leaves)

  • ½ teaspoon turmeric

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Step 1: Prepare garlic chives

Wash the garlic chives thoroughly and let them drain completely. Once dry, chop them into small pieces (about 0.5 cm) and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare gijavash herb

Wash the gijavash greens well, drain them, and chop them similarly into small pieces.

Step 3: Beat the eggs

Crack the duck eggs into a bowl. Beat them well with a fork, then add salt and black pepper and mix again.

Step 4: Sauté garlic chives

Heat some oil in a pan. Add the chopped garlic chives and sauté them with turmeric until lightly fried and aromatic.

Step 5: Cook the herbs

Add the chopped gijavash to the pan. Stir and sauté for a few minutes, then reduce the heat. Cover the pan and let the herbs soften and cook through.

Step 6: Add eggs and finish cooking

Pour the beaten eggs into the cooked herbs. Let them cook gently until the eggs are fully set. Then serve warm, preferably with rice.
